Sorry for the "historic aviation-fest," but you just can't pass on the Enola Gay. Of course, historically significant and a very complex symbol of the nuclear age. Also, a difficult shoot because it is surrounded by lots of other historic airplanes, too.

I agree, you can't pass on the Enola Gay, it is a truly historically significant aircraft. Whatever one's view of dropping the two A-bombs, doing so certainly saved a large number of Allied lives and the after-effects have arguably prevented reckless use of nuclear weapons in subsequent wars to date. Great work to get a good pov under difficult circumstances.
what taffy said. as a young student back in the old country, i've studied the history on this and read so many tales and stories mentioning this plane and the circumstances involving it, apart from my father's accounts of the horrible war that this plane helped end. i had goosebumps upon seeing your photo on the curated page. i hope to someday see it myself. it looks so "alive" seeing it through your lens. thank you for this.
